Interpretation

Commentary
SESP.M 1 is on the much abraded face of a large stone, over which a 9-Men's Morris has been heavily incised along with other scratches. Immediately after the m of the second name there is a mark which at first sight looks like an uncompleted ʾ, but is an extraneous mark. The fifth letter before the end is written over another, extraneous stroke which makes it look like a ḫ. The antepenultimate letter is a clear ʾ not a ḫ.
